We will be working on our website calendar over the winter break. We appreciate your patience during this time and hope to have it up again as soon as possible. If you need to the calendar for the year, please reference the 2017-2018 district calendar.

Please help District 91 identify our strengths and weaknesses in our schools’ learning environments by taking the survey linked. The Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be conducted through January 31, 2018. To take the survey please visithttps://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin.

Dining for Dollars - If you need a stress-free evening or a fun lunch out of the house, November 2nd is Dine-Out-Day at Q BBQ. From 11am-9pm, Q BBQ will donate 20% of your bill to the Forest Park Northside PTC. Remember to show the flyer when you order (either electronically on your phone or by printing the paper flyer)!

This is a reminder that all District 91 schools will receive the Be Seen and Heard 2.0 presentation by Victor Pacini this week (Forest Park Middle School - September 25, Field-Stevenson and Grant-White - September 26, Garfield - September 27, Betsy Ross - September 28).

In preparation for the solar eclipse, District 91 ordered eclipse viewing glasses for our students. On 8/17, we were notified by the vendor that our order was refunded because of a safety recall. We searched in vain for a replacement for this order, however, we were not successful. Therefore, we will not be able to safely take students outside to view the eclipse. Students will be able to watch on television and see it darken through the window and will be given lessons on the eclipse. Student safety is our greatest concern, so we will not take the risk of them looking directly at the sun. We thank you for your understanding and are looking forward to a great school year!

The construction on Hannah Avenue (the street in front of Garfield School) is currently running behind schedule and there is a chance they will not finish prior to the start of the 2017-2018 school year. Please see the article for all the information: http://bit.ly/2tX8BGN.
